Maternal love

He felt the void from early on,
and knew innately the loss
of something beyond touch.

A life of bad choices,
and failed relationships, 
still left him searching.

He witnessed it in others,
friends and family,
the relationship, bond and love.

In the Fall of his life,
he identified the piece missing
and hoped it was not too late.
